Contemporary titles/opening vs. Older titles/opening

Kyle Cooper reinvented the title sequence for David Fincher's Se7en in 1995. Therefore i'm going to be comparing the opening of Se7en with a film that was released many years before, Dr. Strangelove (1964).
 




The editing techniques and music used in Se7en make it seem very demonic and mysterious which relates to the genre of the movie. The same can be said about Dr. Strangelove as the music and images can relate to what the audience will see. However , you can clearly see a big advancement in technology over time. This makes the the opening for Se7en a lot better than the opening for Dr. Strangelove. An example of a change in the title sequences would be the text. The text in Se7en seems to flash and move around and relate to the the genre but in Dr. Strangelove the text just appears on the screen.
